Starry show for Hogenakal
Friday fury over the controversial Hogenakal project had a filmi twist. The stars literally came down to the streets, as artistes attached to the Kannada film industry converged to protest under the banner of the Karnataka Chalanachitra Udhyama Sangha. The stars and their fans had a common cause to fight for. Demonstrating outside Bangalore's Town Hall, they voiced their demand in unison: The Union government had to intervene and stop the Hogenakal project lest it triggered water scarcity across Karnataka.
